US’ Coyuchi, the organic luxury bed, bath, and apparel company, has assembled a council of leaders across fashion and sustainability to form the Coyuchi Climate Council. Coyuchi aims to bring together powerful minds who have the knowledge and experience necessary to achieve latest climate goals: Net Zero Emissions by 2025 and Net Positive Emissions by 2030.
Jeff Hogue, chief sustainability officer, Levi’s; Cara Chacon, founder and principal consultant, Intentum Corporate Responsibility Consulting, Steve Finkel, founder and president, White Buffalo Land Trust; Amanda Cattermole, founder of Cattermole Consulting, were selected for their expertise in five key areas: regenerative agriculture, GHG’s + offsets, ESG reporting, textile chemistry, and circular systems, the company said in a press release.
Coyuchi has also released its first annual Impact Report, which provides metrics around the company’s sustainable accomplishments starting with 2020, and outlines the company’s new climate goals, as well as a roadmap for how it plans to achieve them. Key learnings from the Impact Report (Jan-Dec 2020) state that 100 per cent of products were made from 100 per cent natural fibres, 99 per cent of products were Global Organic Textile Standard Certified, and invested capital in carbon farming practices on over 6,000 acres in California.

In addition to environmental metrics, Coyuchi’s 2020 Impact Report also addresses the critical importance of diversity and charity initiatives that support a fair and equal society with 100 per cent executive female leadership and 90 per cent female workforce. More than 2,000 factory workers in India received COVID-19 Relief from Coyuchi’s Fair Trade USA Premium, which was used to purchase groceries and sanitising materials
More than 400 smallholder farms (a farm less than five acres in land) received Fair Trade Premiums from Coyuchi in India, where small and marginal farmers account for 86 per cent of total farmers
“Coyuchi’s pursuit of sustainable innovation has never been achievable in a silo. The complexities of the textiles supply chain do not allow for us to work alone, and when we launched our first circular product in 2020, we recognised the true value of our network in the battle against climate change. This small but mighty group of leaders was carefully selected for their deep-rooted expertise across industries and I am confident they will push Coyuchi to be innovative and aggressive with achieving our goals,” Eileen Mockus, CEO and president of Coyuchi, said in a statement.
